    This has been happening to me more and more these days as I age .
    It's funny , but as babies we all look alike to some degree, and it seems we have body doubles every where. The other day a strange woman came up to me and she though I was her husband .
    When you think your unique , some one comes along and claims you were some other pace you've actually never been.
    Ever been mistaken for some one else.?

    Nobody thinks I am alone else, and sometimes I am not even MYSELF... People who haven't seen me in a few Decades, do not recognize me for who I am,l or was.... I went to a High School 25 Year Reunion and NoBody walked up to me and said "Hey. is that you, Bruce" I refused to wear one of those stupid Name Badges, and had a good time just seeing some of the folks that I went to High School with... Not a lot of chit chat going on with me.... Just my style of Reunion...

    There are a lot of crazy people out there, medicated with some crazy prescriptions, or imbibing in various controlled substances. They are liable to see and say all kinds of crazy things when one drug kicks in, or when another wears off.....:eek:

    No, never mistaken for another but when I am home, people know what family I belong to. I guess the family resemblance is strong.

    Back when he was at the top of the country music charts I used to get mistaken for Tim McGraw all the time. I've been asked for autographs at airports, hotels, bars,ect. Hasn't happened for a long time except for last weekend. Sass and I spent a week at the beach house. When we went down to the wharf to see the Jimmy Buffett concert. We got there early and did a little bar hopping. Had several women and one guy come up to me. I can usually tell now when someone is thinking I'm Tim, and just say "I'm not who you think I am." I had one drunk chick in Atlanta that just wouldn't believe me.I finally posed for a pic with her and signed an autograph,lol.
